BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- California quarterback Zach Maynard madea bad read on his first pass attempt when he tried to squeeze apass into double coverage and it ended in an interception.

He spent the rest of the night making UCLA's defense pay for hismistake.

Maynard matched his career high with four touchdown passes andadded a fifth on the ground and California took advantage of sixturnovers to stun No. 25 UCLA 43-17 on Saturday night.

"We had a huge week of practice this week and everybody wasfocused in," said Maynard, who completed 25 of 30 passes for 295yards. "We prepared ourselves ... and we had a lot of firebehind our backs. It was a great outcome."

Coming off one of the worst games of his career, Maynardrepeatedly picked himself up off the turf at Memorial Stadiumafter getting drilled by the Bruins defense to help the GoldenBears (2-4, 1-2 Pac-12) end their three-game losing streak.

By beating UCLA (4-2, 1-2) at home for the seventh straighttime, Cal might have also decreased some of the pressure oncoach Jeff Tedford.

"It was much needed, no doubt about it," Tedford said. "It'sbeen a tough few weeks. That's definitely going to give us aboost. But even though this is very satisfying and gratifyingfor our team, we know we still have a lot of work to do."

The outlook is a lot more promising for the Bears following theupset win over their conference rivals.

Maynard, who completed only 9 of 28 passes in last week's lossto Arizona State, was almost flawless against UCLA. He completed13 consecutive throws during one stretch in the second half.

All of this after his first pass of the night ended in the armsof UCLA safety Andrew Abbott.

"I just had to shake it off," Maynard said. "I thought Keenan(Allen) was going to come out a little bit faster out of hisbreak, but he was double covered. I should have just thrown itout of bounds. Made a bad play worse."

Little else went wrong for the Bears.

Richard Rodgers caught seven passes for 129 yards while Allencaught a pair of touchdowns and finished with eight receptionsto move into third place on Cal's career list.

Johnathan Franklin ran for 103 yards for UCLA, which lost forthe second time in three games and is likely to fall out of therankings again.

In addition to the six turnovers, the Bruins also committed 12penalties on their mistake-filled night.

"We did a lot of things to hurt ourselves," Bruins coach JimMora said. "You know when you go on the road in a hostileenvironment and you turn the ball over six times, it's going tobe tough to win. We got beaten by a good team ... and we gotbeat solidly."

As sharp as the offense was, it was Cal's defense that made thedifference.

UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley threw four interceptions, threeby Bears cornerback Kameron Jackson. The Bruins, who had onlyone turnover in their previous two games, also fumbled twice.

Hundley, the redshirt freshman who has looked strong runningUCLA's spread offense, never found his rhythm. He had aseason-high 31 completions and passed for 253 yards and twotouchdowns, but couldn't prevent the Bruins from remainingwinless at Memorial Stadium since 1998.

"There was a lot of pressure but I can do better with my reads,"Hundley said. "They just executed real well. The penalties hurt.With this kind of offense, it kills your tempo."

The ending was in sharp contrast to the opening drive for UCLA.

The Bruins got creative when Hundley threw a 4-yard touchdownpass to Cassius Marsh, a defensive end who lined up on the leftside of the offensive line then ran a short out pattern. It's aformation UCLA has used previously this season, but the firsttime Marsh, a 275-pound senior, has scored.

Cal responded with a 26-yard field goal by Vicenzo D'Amato thentook the lead on Maynard's 9-yard touchdown pass to Andersonmidway through the second quarter. Maynard got the drive startedwith a 42-yard completion to tight end Rodgers then capped itwith the throw to Anderson, who beat safety Tevin McDonald on anslant pattern.

That came after Hundley was charged with a fumble after hisshort pass in the left flat to Jordan James was ruled a lateraland recovered by Cal's Nick Forbes.

After UCLA kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn missed a 46-yard field goalattempt, the Bruins forced a punt but Kenny Orjioke ran intoreturn man Steven Manfro as Manfro was calling for a fair catch.The ball hit Orjioke in the back and Cal pounced on it.

Five plays later, Maynard connected with Allen for an 8-yardtouchdown on an inside slant play similar to the one run byAnderson.

The Bruins committed their third turnover of the first half whenHundley threw an interception in the end zone after the intendedreceiver stopped his route well short of the goal line.

Maynard threw touchdowns on Cal's first two drives in the secondhalf to push the lead to 29-14.

UCLA pulled within 29-17 on Fairbairn's 30-yard field goal earlyin the fourth quarter, but Cal's defense came up with two moreinterceptions to secure the win.
